A Kuheilah mare was presented to Shaikh Hamed bin Isa (1874-1942) while he was still a young man. The sender of the mare, Shaikh of the Ajman tribe, wrote a letter to his friend: “ We send you this Kuheilah mare which fulfils the Adiyat”.

From The Koran, Sura C.

(Adiyat, or those that run)

In the name of God, Most gracious Most merciful;

By the steeds

That run, with panting breath *

And strike sparks of fire (with their hoofs)

And push home the charge

In the morning

And raise the dust

In clouds the while,

And penetrate forthwith

Into the midst of the foe

*Mares panting for war on behalf of their masters.

When Shaikh Hamed saw the mare run in a race and found her exceedingly swift he exclaimed: “Truly she is of the El Adiyat”.

A descendant of this mare Kuheila’ t Aladiyat Naafleh 222 has been a prolific producer of fillies. So this line continues to flourish even today.
